Other rules to know
- The Town repealed and recreated its zoning code (Ch. 310) by Ord. 2025-06 (June 19, 2025; amended by Ord. 2026-01). The new code lists fences as an accessory use in every district (Table 310-A) but sets no fence height or property-line rules in the text read.
Before you dig
Call Diggers Hotline at 811 (or file online at diggershotline.com) at least 3 business days before digging post holes. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
